About bloody time! I am finally the bearer of good news.
1) My mother was released from the hospital this afternoon, after two months in Surrey Memorial.
2) Cheryl's readings were normal today, and she will be released tomorrow afternoon from BC Women's Hospital, pending good results on another test.
By the way, the twins were named some time ago. Maribeth (aka Twin B on the ultrasounds) is smaller than her sister, Megan (Twin A). I know their middle names both start with J, in keeping with my brother's bizarre -- but consistently bizarre -- desire to have all his children's initials as MJE, but I can't recall at the moment what their middle names are.
